auroracloud: vintage drawing of a woman and a lamppost against a text background (Eleven)
I'm too tired to make a proper post, but I just wanted to say that I love the Eleventh Doctor. Love love love him.

And Amy. And Rory, too. Also, I want to make Amy's scarf from The Vampires of Venice, but that's going to be way beyond my knitting skills for quite a while yet, even if I actually start practicing like I've meant to. I mean, I haven't even got around to successfully knitting leg warmers yet. But maybe knitting a lace scarf would be easier? My craft skills are kind of weird like that, it might help as long as I only need to handle two needles. I can crochet lace things just fine, but I have a feeling that one's going to be better if you knit it.

Yeah, I'd like to say more about S5 than just start talking about knitting, but well, it's late.

But it's a pity that from what I know, Jack and Eleven never meet on screen, because it would be grand. And fun. And lots of cheekiness all around.

I just want to say that I'm super-excited about the latest news about the new Doctor Who companion.

Cut for spoilers, though it's all over and hard to miss )

This definitely seals it; I'm so going to watch the new series as it airs, never mind that I'm several seasons behind. I already watched the Christmas special and I know roughly what happened in the end of the last season, so I don't think it'll be too hard to figure out what's going on. And I just checked when we're going to get it in Finland, and guess what? Like with the Christmas special, we're getting Series 10 only one day later than the UK! So brilliant! I can watch it pretty much in real time!


I've just started watching S5, by the way. I still need to finish my write-up on my many thoughts on S4 (not to mention write my Torchwood S2 post!) but I decided to just skip the specials because I just didn't like them much at all (except for the Wilfred bits, and some of the Master stuff). Also, Journey's End has the unfortunate effect of making me kind of hate Ten, and considering I do generally love him, I didn't want to add to that by all the purposeless angst-wallowing that the Specials are.

So straight onto Eleven it was, and oh, so far I'm totally liking both him and Amy. The Eleventh Hour was a bit full of things and had pacing problems, but I really enjoyed it as an introduction to the characters, and the amount of backstory Amy gets there makes it easy to relate to her and see what's going on with her. And I thought The Beast Below was magnificent. Liz 10 was a lovely character, too, and Amy totally has my heart now, if there was a part she didn't have by the end of The Eleventh Hour. I'm still getting used to how young Eleven looks, but it's interesting to observe him, and there's something deliciously explosively adventurous in his and Amy's dynamic so far. I'm pretty sure I will have watched S5 at least by the time S10 starts, so that's something.

Anyway, being so excited about this - both Bill and S5 - is fun! I've been all sorts of exhausted by RL lately, and not feeling great, so feeling excitement is delightful.
